II Jay Gould got any salary at all !
should say that he earned it the most
easily of any man in town. He is the
personification of easy going, and never
loses his temper or his head. He treats
his head through the medium of his
stomach by living very plainly: in fact,
he commits no excuses in any direction
except money making. He has himself
under perfect control. He is as methodical
as a machine, goes to bed 1T such an
hour. gets up at such an hour and spends
Just so many hours at his Office. Natur-
ally, everybody who works with him or
for him likes him. But neither as presi-
dent of the Manhattan Elevated nor of
the Gould system does he take any salary.
If he gets his s. for each attendance at a
meeting of the Western Union directory
it is because the moIey is sent to him.

"That is the way they reduce their weight
said horseman at the state fair the other day.
A crowd had gathered about one of the stalls
at the west end of the horse tier Within was
a magnificent, clearly built running mare
feeding at crib and almost treading upon a
negro boy, who lay stretched at full length in
the. straw on the floor apparently in great
agony. "He's getting over drunk said one
THAT man is hurt; that horse has stepped on
him" said another, a benevolent old gentle
man, who attempted to open the door and
save the lad from further injury
Stand back from that stall, F" said gruH
voice behind; didn't you people over see a
man train for running rae beforel
He went into the stall and asked the boy
what he wanted, water he gasped. The
man laid back the thick WOODEN blankets with
which the boy was covered. About his body
were heavy slsin-tight sweaters. The 10y
raised himself on his elbow with difficulty,
swallowed the little water allowed him and
sank back as feeble as child.
He weighs 49," said the man in charge,
"ard he got to train down to no. 1t makes
'em veal, while they arc sweating, but wher
they get out Of the woolens and begin to eat
they pick up strength quickly"
The bullet headed colored rider said after
wards that he reduced bis weight from l1S to

More than half a century ago a

More than half century ago French
chemist and surgeon declared that achlorine
has the power of decomposing and destroy
ing the deadly poison of the saliva of the
mad dog The truth of that statement has
been reaffirmed repeatedly by physicians and
others since it was then published, but is evil
IDENTIFY known by few people. The remedy is
prepared and applied rs wash by dissolving
two tablespoonfuls of chloruret of lime in
half pint Of water, and with it instantly
and repeatedly bathing the bitten part. The
liquid is absorbed and the poison decomposed.
DR.. Worthington, of Annapolis, recon-
mended years ago tha giving Of chlorine in
ternally and hypodermicary. He says: 1T
is a stimulant and astriagcnt, in the first case
helping to raise the vital powers, and in the
second case lessenins the rapidity of the cir.
culation, and retarding the dissemination of
the poison through the economy If chloride
of lime applied to the wound will decompose
the virus with which it comes in contact, it is
reasonable to assume that some of it viii be
absorbed by the vessels and decompose the
virus in the circulation. If this is fair
assumption it is plausible, practicable and
possible TO meet the poison within the system
and destroy it, The remedy above described
is SO cheap, readily available and simple in
its application externally that no family need
be without a supply ready for instant use. It
has been known to be effective when applied

One Kind OF Reading.

And how few persons who can devote
but an hour or half an hour day to read
ing and study take due thought as to how
they can make the most of their little leis.
ure. They read in desultory way what.
ever comes to hand, and think that if they
had more time for books they would sooD
become much better informed. But tho
half hour day, if used in the wisest man.
ner, would make vast difference in ones
mental growth as the months and years
glide by.
An incident occurs to me that well il.
lutrates this A pretty maiden hair fern
growing in a flower pot was given to
young girl hopelessly i'll with spinal dis
ease. 1t proved thing of beauty and OF
inexhaustible interest, as the delicate,
graceful fronds came up one by one and
slowly uncurled. There was little pot
beside the fern and under its spreading
fronds in which grew an aloe. By and by
the sick girl noticed in the little pot some
tiny ferns scarce an inch high quite un-
like the maiden hair. Whence came they?
Her interest was aroused. She was no
botanist but she wanted to learn some
thing about ferns. She could use her eyes
for reading but five minutes at
time and not more than twice day. A
book on ferns came to her, and another
and another. Friends, knowing her in.
terest in ferns, brought them to her fresh
and green from the woods or sent her
pressed specimens Of rare varieties gath
cred in distant lands. Sometimes visitor
would read to her from one of her precious
books, but only for four or five minutes.
81 cannot remember more at a time" she
would say, "and you have read enough
for me to think about for long time"
1t is now some years since the maiden
hair fern was given to her, and she has be-
come an authority as to the species and
culture Of ferns and is an enthusiast in
regard to them. 1t is true that she has
become edcuated in one direction only,
and is not particularly well informed in
other respects. But is it not "a great gain
that she should talk about her ferns and
their wonderful method of reproduction,
awakening her listeners interest and
teaching them many things worth remem
boring rather than to dwell chiefly on her
pains and pr1vations? It is many years
since she was able to step out Of doors,
but when you are with her you do not
think of her as an invalid SO interested
and interesting Is she.--Bcston Tran.

home team into camp in fine style, the
score standing Wichita two and Emporia
one. The game was the best ever seen on
the home grounds, and shows as good a
record as any game played in the
country thus far this year, and
under the new rules which are prolific in
large scores the result is most creditable to
both clubs. The visitors played ball from
beginning to end, and SO did the home
team. The deciding run was made by
Wichita on an error of Emporias new
cracked pitcher. The town is considerably
wrought up over the closeness of the game
